Subject: QOTD for Saturday, July 29, 2023

The following Quote of the Day is taken from An Echo in the Bone, Chapter 103, The Hour of the Wolf, by Diana Gabaldon. Copyright 2009, All Rights Reserved

Rachel sighed and gave him a direct look under dark, level brows.

“Ian, thee is thinking something painful, and I would much prefer thee tells me what it is. Has something happened?”

A great many things had happened, and were happening all around them, would continue to happen. How could he tell her…? And yet he couldn’t not.

“The world is turning upside down,” he blurted. “And you are the only constant thing. The only thing I---that binds me to the earth.”

Her eyes softened.

“Am I?”

‘”Ye ken verra well that you are,” he said gruffly. He looked away, his heart pounding. Too late, he thought, with a mixture of dismay and elation. He’d begun to speak; he couldn’t stop now, no matter what might come of it.

“I know what I am,” he said, awkward but determined. I would turn Quaker for your sake, Rachel, but I ken I’m not one in my heart; I think I never could be. And I think ye wouldna want me to say words I dinna mean or pretend to be something I canna be.”

“No,” she said softly. “I would not want that.”

Sorry this quote ran long, but.. I really didn’t mean to get into this relationship when I started the week, but the quotes led me where they wanted me to go. Hope you enjoyed this peek at Ian and Rachel
